Tottenham’s attendance for Champions League clash sets new English record

It can not be overlooked, however, Tottenham eliminated Monaco from last season’s UEFA Europa League group stage, following up a 1-1 draw in the principality with a 4-1 win in London, and they will be full of confidence after recording a 0-4 win at Stoke last weekend.

Speaking after the game, Pochettino said: “I think that we all agree that we started well but then we conceded after 15 minutes”. We believe in the way we play and it’s a good chance to play on a big pitch. “We need to be more aggressive in front of goal”. He’s a brilliant player and we’re excited to have him back – but Victor [Wanama] has done really well since he’s come in, and Eric as well in centre midfield. We have to make sure we learn from Monaco and take it into the next games.

Spurs have agreed a deal to use Wembley as the venue for their home games this season, as redevelopment work on their stadium continues.

With White Hart Lane now under development as the club sets about constructing a new stadium, Spurs will move to north-west London for all their home fixtures in Europe’s elite competition.

“We fancy ourselves against anyone”.

Wednesday’s attendance of 85,011 people at Wembley Stadium, Spurs’ home for European fixtures this season, is the largest ever for an England club’s home game. It’s shame because we fought so hard to be here and this was a big opportunity to give the fans a good victory. We’ll try to enjoy it and try to win the game, because that’s the important thing. Put your links in the comments, or your semi-coherent Champions League takes that didn’t make it into Ed’s post-match thread. I think the season is long. “I can’t imagine the moment when we’re in the tunnel going onto the pitch – it’ll be an emotional moment”.

But the Argentine coach has drilled his players on a pitch of the same size at their Enfield training ground and he expects them to thrive in their new surroundings.
